Chapter 662 Overwhelming The Fishmen King!

"Alice! Ignatius! Naturia!"
"GOTCHA!"
All three of my primary Spirits gathered their power, combining Light, Nature, and Fire into my ultimate element, the one I used to beat a Demon Lord before.
FLUOOOSH!
Golden flames emerged from within my entire body, covering it as they fused with my various other skills. My Beast Aura emerged, glowing with golden divine flames as they shaped into a ferocious dragon.
"[Draconic Aura]! [Dragon Claws]!"
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
Enormous dragon claws began falling from the skies, reaching the Fishman King in mere seconds!
"This power… D-Divine Flames?! And how come your power… is that of a dragon?!"
CLAAASH! CLAAAASH! CLAAAAASSSHHHHH!!!
"GRUAAAGGGH…!"
The Fishman King was completely unable to defend, the flames erupted everywhere, engulfing his entire body, and slashing away at his flesh and bones.
"[Dragon's Jaws]!"
I jumped over the Fishman King and aimed at his neck, my aura shaping as a ferocious dragon made of golden flames, and of course, when combining it with Scarlet's [Dragon Fang], it truly became a fearful combination technique!
CRAAAASSSHHHH!!!
The combined powers of Naturia, Alice, and Ignatius erupted into pure power, biting through the neck of the Fishman King. His enormous stamina somehow maintaining him alive as he furiously punched me away from him.
BAAAAM!
I couldn't evade when I was conjuring such a strong technique, but it was a hit I could take. My entire body broke, my muscles and bones barely not giving up completely. But my stomach was pierced by my ribs, which were all broken.
"Nngh… [Divine Healing Flames]"
FLUOOOSH!
I repurposed the power of the Divine Flames and created a Spell on the moment, combining it with Sapphire's Restoration, my wounds slowly closed, albeit internal damage was still there.
"YOUUUUU…! AGGGH…! T-THESE FLAMES… THEY'RE LIKE A CURSE!"
The Fishman King began rushing towards me, his movements now finally slower and he seemed to be near death's door. These flames were, of course, modified, and not the same as before.
"Heh, of course they're not the same as before." Curse laughed.
"This is the power of Poisonous Flames!" Laughed Beelzebub.
I had more spirits, so why not add them into the mix? Divine Flames had been improved even more as they now acted like a curse that sapped a target's life and mana, while also poisoning them thanks to Curse and Beelzebub. Of course, it was extremely hard to create and keep up, so I couldn't simply utilize this for any foe I encountered.
Nonetheless…
"NOW!"
Furoh emerged out of Aquarina's shadows, as she was right behind the Fishman King. His senses too dull now to realize two assassins sneaked from behind him! Furoh having taken Aquarina's form with his Mimicry, he could only imitate a fragment of her strength, but it was enough to complement her, as the two combined their darkness powers together.
FLAAASH!
"HUH!? You're too naïve if you think you can get behind me again!!!"
The Fishman King felt shocked, even when covered in Divine Flames, he was still horribly strong. He smiled, quickly unleashing a barrage of trident attacks against Aquarina and Furoh before they could even hit him!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BOOOOMMM!!!
However, his blows barely managed to miss them two, as he suddenly realized something was holding him back. Noticing that Celeste, Celica, and Mist were grabbing his legs utilizing chains made of magic.
"Y-You again and your damn chains…?!"
"[Razzle Dazzle]!!!"
Mist gathered all her Mana as her staff glowed the brightest!
FLAAAASH!
The eyes of the Fishman King couldn't even blink because he was a fish, the light pieced his eyes, blinding him completely!
"GRAAAHHHHH…!"
And as he struggled, Aquarina and Furoh received my Mana in the meantime, overflowing with it, they unleashed their power!
"[Soul Reaping Scythe]!!!"
The two combined their powers, an enormous scythe made of shadows emerged behind the Fishman King, slashing his back and then, tearing apart his soul into pieces.
SLAAAAAAASH!
"GRYYYYYAAAAGGGGH…!!!"
His soul began to struggle, but it quickly ended being sliced apart, shattered!
BAAAM!
His enormous body finally fell into the ground, motionlessly.
"W-We did it?" Asked Zack, slowly making his way back here.
"I-I never though blinding him would work this well…" Mist said.
"Yeah, I guess this is over…!" Aquarina sighed in relief.
It all happened really quickly, but I felt relieved. We all sat down over the floor, gasping for air. We started chatting a bit to lift our mood. Now that we were done here, it would be nice to go back home as soon as possible to make the items I promised.
Ding!

Nice, with that done…
"Well, we should get going-"
"Over? This isn't over yet, you damn brats."
However, before we could even relax, we heard a tenebrous voice. The corpse of the Fishman King spoke, but with a different, more phantasmal, and terrifying voice than before. I quickly saw into the future…
"Wait…!"
I put everything into my powers, quickly expanding my Mana into a massive mass and catching everyone with it, right before an enormous explosion of Magic power emerged from within the Fishman King's body.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
It was pure, monstrous darkness- no, it was an even more powerful element.
CHAOS!
RUMBLE!
The entire hall began trembling, as I was thrown away harshly. Furoh transformed into Pyuku and Pyuku also helped, encompassing all of our bodies into a combined bubble to resist the enormous impact.
BAAAAMMM!!!
"W-What is that?!" Mist asked in fear.
"I-its…!" Zack couldn't believe it.
"Spi… spiders?!" Celica asked.
From within the corpse of the Fishman King, an enormous swarm of one-meter-big black spiders started to emerge in enormous quantities, all of them glowing with black and purple auras and red eyes. The presence of the Fishman King could be felt. I had not been able to absorb his soul as EXP because he never truly died to begin with.
"This is all thanks to Lady Lolth… My rebirth! Hahaha…! It is so beautiful…! GAHAHAHA!"
The hundreds of spiders converged together into a monstrous, and gargantuan black spider, the voice of the Fishman King echoing from within.
The true identity behind the Fishman King finally made itself clear.
Was this thing always inside of him?!
It was almost as strong as a Demon Lord…
"My name is Sarach the Parasite, the loyal servant of the Demon Lord of Swarms, Arachne, and faithful worshipper of our Evil Goddess, Lady Lolth!"
